The idyllic historic complex is called Stadtmühle (not Schöneberger Mühle) and is picturesquely situated on the Mühlengraben directly on the Naheradweg between Bad Sobernheim and Meddersheim.

No idea why the hut is supposed to be called Friedenseiche. I only found the Hubertus-Eiche next to it and the place is named after the former city forester Karl Storck.
